In these times we need to celebrate human progress. Amid a torrent of confusing if not bad news, we need to take encouragement and inspiration from what makes the world a better place and will continue to brighten our future.That is why I have written Search Engine: The Musical. It tells the story of Google - coinciding with the 20th anniversary of its founding in 1998 - through the rise, coming together, struggles and then triumphs of its founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page.This is a story about two tech heroes who use science to advance human progress. This is a story about how Google, the search engine, has changed the course of the free flow of reliable information to people all over the world - and millions of people use it every day, for free. This story also relates how Brin and Page's perseverance, brain power and vision have also led them to the future-forward projects of Google X, aimed at making human life easier and better.This is a time when people and societies depend on relevant and reliable information more than ever. It's a time when our culture normalizes "alternative facts" and weaponizes "FAKE this and FAKE that." We need the tools to push forward - and Brin and Page have given us these gifts through Google.
